What did I loose?

Today I had a slightly heated debate with a friend on FB about the role of government in social programs.  She on the side of government should have many programs to help many. Me on the side of smaller government and  individual compassion to help out those in need.  I feel people should have hearts turned toward God and hearts that are quiet enough to hear His prodding to give and share.  It has led me to this thought I have been chewing on all morning: If an the end of my life I am wrong and Jesus is not my Lord and a relationship with Him is not necessary for entry into heaven, what did I loose?

I lost fear
Psalm 23:4

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

I lost anger

Ephesians 4:26 NIV

"In your anger do not sin": Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry,

I lost selfishness

Psalm 119:36 NIV

Turn my heart toward your statutes and not toward selfish gain.

I lost envy and pride

1 Corinthians 13:4 NIV

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

And what did those who choose to turn away loose: Eternity in Heaven.

I'm gonna go ahead and take my chances.
